Occupy Wall Street Strategy Discussion: Stephen Lerner, Frances Fox Piven, Ryan Devereaux

No Star Chamber, no secret meetings, no conspiracies. They are laying out their plans right out in the open. They are telling the media, corporate America, law enforcement and the government their plans to disrupt and create uprisings. Of course they will claim they are peaceful but look at Occupy’s history; clearly one rooted in disruption, violence, destruction of private property, sexual assaults etc.

Lerner “admits” the unions are using Occupy for redistribution of wealth and power: “I think we’re at that sweet spot where we don’t need to worry about co-opt—well, we should always worry about co-option—where the issue isn’t co-option, labor or Occupy or community groups. It’s the moment where we can come together and put millions of people in the street. It’s the moment where we can come together and put millions of people in the street. It’s a moment where we can come together and talk about shutting down shareholder meetings where people don’t have a voice. … I think there’s never been a more exciting time in my 30 years of organizing to imagine building the kind of movement that can transform the country, that can really talk about redistributing wealth and power.”
